When a smile decorates our face
It’s contagious when it’s pure;
Revealing a kindness and a warmth
That encourages one to endure.
When a hug envelops a lonely soul
It’s tender and shows much care,
As a gentle reminder and a reassurance
That someone is always there.
When a friendly kiss is sincere
It seals our soul with joy;
With a compassion and a happiness
When a friendship we enjoy.
It’s the little acts of kindness
That will never go unnoticed,
As we will always remember those special moments
That we keep in our memory list.
To really make a difference
We merely need to care,
And put the needs of others first
Or simply just to be there.
As we live a peaceful and quiet life
And mind our own business too,
It’s a testimony of a simple life
Where we reflect on all we do.
Most crave to be surrounded
By caring and calming souls;
Where God’s wisdom is reflected
So fruitful solutions can unfold.
It’s to share the wonderful gospel
And its message so simple and pure;
It’s to remind those precious souls
That from sin there is a cure.
It’s to be God’s hands and feet
In a world hostile and lost;
As His vessels sharing the good news in love
To point them to the cross.
It’s the simple acts that speak aloud
And the most precious of all indeed,
Reserved in the hearts of man
As we plant those loving seeds.
